Werner gets a win in court | #190

Trucking, , , ,

Werner Enterprises has been in a court battle since 2011. A group of trainee driver allege Werner did not pay them for breaks and sleeper time, only $350 a week salary. The sleeper was thrown out but the break stuck and initially Werner lost and was ordered to pay $800000. Well, since math is hard the figures had to be refigured and were turned in late. Werner objected and has won three appeals based on that. Look at how much effort a trucking company will go through to not pay you. Think about it.   I am not a lawyer and this is not legal advice.

TMC gets sued, does the same thing again | #182

Trucking, , , , , ,

TMC trucking a few years ago fired a black guy because he wouldn’t cut his hair. He filed a complaint with the civil rights commission and is now suing them. What does TMC do? Fire another black guy because of his hair. Does anyone at TMC have a brain? Who cares about his hair? I have long said no one should work here and I couldn’t believe it more now. The place seems full of immature military wanna be soldiers who couldn’t cut it. These were the hall monitors in school and they are the Sucuritas people of today. I’m not making my bed and I’m not cutting my hair so they can bite me.

Werner Enterprises loses $36,000,000 lawsuit | #166

Trucking, , , , , , , , , ,

A Deaf driver applied to Werner after completing Roadmaster truck driving school.  Did you know Werner Enterprises owns Roadmaster?  Anyway, he got an exemption and passed his DOT physical, passed truck school and applied to Werner.  Werner said no thank you to him and he wasn’t having any of it.  I totally agree.  It would appear to me, who is not a lawyer, that the only reason Werner did not hire him is because he is Deaf.  As you know I am learning American Sign Language so he could come work with me.  He complained to the EEOC and after trying to reach a settlement they sued Werner and won.  They had a jury.  Attention:  I am not an attorney and this show is not legal advice or a legal opinion.  Seek a licensed attorney for legal advice.
